Advancing Collaborative Implementation of Personalised Medicine Approaches in Healthcare
Call Pre-announcement
A ‘Twinning’ is a structured partnership where a ‘Twinning Donor’ with an innovative personalised medicine solution or approach, shares its expertise in this innovative solution or approach with another party called the ‘Twinning Receiver’. The goal of this Twinning is to implement the solution or approach being shared into the respective institution/organisation/company of the Twinning Receiver.
The European Partnership for Personalised Medicine, EP PerMed supported by the European Union under Horizon Europe, Grant Agreement N° 101137129, is preparing to launch its first Twinning Call 2026 for proposals on “Advancing Collaborative Implementation of Personalized Medicine Approaches in Healthcare”.
The Twinning Call 2026 is designed to accelerate the implementation of personalised medicine (PM) solutions or approaches from one country to another through peer-to-peer exchanges.
This Call offers up to 50,000 EUR to activities that facilitate the exchange of solutions or approaches in personalised medicine and build up the capacities and capabilities of one or both participating parties. Twinning partnerships should last between 6 and 12 months.

Early Matchmaking Phase
The Twinning process will begin with an initial “Early Matchmaking” phase opening on 13 October 2025. During this phase, both Twinning Donors with successful PM approaches in healthcare and Twinning Receivers with concrete PM needs and looking to implement PM approaches in their environment are invited to express their interest, establish primary contact, share ideas and begin collaboration on the Twinning Call proposal. The EP PerMed consortium will facilitate matchmaking opportunities through a designated matchmaking portal to link Twinning Donors and Twinning Receivers through the early matchmaking phase. Following this process, the official Twinning Call will be launched. In this step, pairs of donor and receiver(s) are expected to co-apply to the call.
A complementary online matchmaking event will take place on January 15th 2026, where Twinning Donors and Receiver organisations can present their successful personalised medicine approaches or personalised medicine needs in the form of a pitch to further facilitate the Twinning partnership matchmaking process.
